Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 12

[Master of the Six Kings]

When did we decide that only 48 Pokemon can be "OU"? 50 seems like so much more of an attractive number, and 48 seems random to me.

 

[greg]

Maybe its because 48 is divisible by 6

 

[Xyra]

Maybe it's because it's divisible by: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 ...

If you use Skill Swap on a Regigigas, do Regis' stats return to normal, or are they still lowered?

His stats will stay lowered and will never become normal. He never "gets it together".

 

[DragonKnight900]

If Regigigas is hit with worry will his stats return to normal?

 

[Lusantian]

If Regigigas is hit with worry will his stats return to normal?

I take it you mean Worry Seed?

I would assume it has the same effect as Skill Swap; that is, he never recovers his stats.

Does Cherrims Flower Gift ability only Increase it's Physical Attack and Special Defense or bnoth Attacks and Special Defense?
The Ability description on the site doesn't make it clear which attack stat(s) it boosts

How do you get the words under your name if you haven't got any badges? I saw GB_PACKERS_FTW and Pikachu of Doom with one? How so?

 

[DFang]

I have an entirely special seviper. Is there an difference between attaching the wise glasses or the expert belt as far as increased damage goes?

 

[Marisa Kirisame]

Is there a guide that lists all of the possible combinations for all hidden powers?

Every guide I see is missing a few.

I'd also like confirmation if the list is correct because I'm making an equation for SRing legendary Pokémon in RU/SA/EM/FR/LG/PE/DI/PL.

If you can get me this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

[Pikachu of Doom]

There's 64 combinations I think presuming either 31 or 30s. (2^6)

 

[TheForgottenSoul]

Odd, but i'll ask it. Are there any pokemon that resemble a lion? I was thinking Arcanine.

 

[Marisa Kirisame]

Yes, I understand that but I need to know how many combinations there are for each Hidden Power.

Luxray and Entei come to mind...

Is there an IV checker program for a TI-83 calculator? That would be so much nicer for breeding/sr'ing when I'm not at home.

I'm still looking. Does anyone know of one?

Found one:

This is very annoying to do in TI-Basic as you have to type in all the base stats of every Pokémon, factor in natures, and then plug in the IV formula, and then 'Prompt' for stats.

So most likely, there isn't one, although it can be done. It'd just take a very long time.

Edit: TI-Basic is very simple to learn, so if for some reason you want to attempt to do this, you very well can.

 

[travisurfer]

Yes, I have programmed a few things before, but, to be honest, I don't even know the formulas for calculating IVs. Anyway, I did manage to find one so we'll see how it works once I download it onto my calc.

 

[Efreet]

(32^6)/16 ?

 

[Marisa Kirisame]

(32^6)/16 ?

Different Hidden Powers have different #'s of combinations iirc.

Example (The following may not be true, it is just an example):

HP Fight has 5 combinations
HP Ice has 4 combinations
HP Dark has 1 combination.

 

[Ulquiorra]

When SR'ing an Egg, are the IVs and nature set when you get an egg? This is gonna be my first time SR breeding and I wann know the specifics. >_>

 

[McLovinn]

Yeah, as soon as you get the egg, it will have only those IVs, and nature.

well i'm not sure but judging from a HP calculator seems to me that the number of spread is evenly distributed between the types.

 

[pokemaster bill]

In Diamond, is there anyway to teach a move to a pokemon that is learned at a lower level?

i.e.

I have a lv 95 Forretress that was leveled up in Emerald. He was imported to d/p and is past the level in which he learns toxic spikes. is there anyway I can get toxic spikes on him?

Fastest way to get a sun stone ?

Haven't found a single solrock and after all my underground experience I've never found a sun stone =_=;
